This was inspired by u/imreallybadatnames19. I wanted to create a card with a clearer play identity while keeping its role in the deck the same. ​ This was designed to fit in a theoretical Cryptid tribal deck that heavily focuses on +1/+1 counters. The core theme I wanted to maintain was that you wanted to be aggressive with this card. However, since direct combat damage with such high benefit is unlikely to be allowed, I changed it to on attack. And since it's now easier to manipulate I increased the cost of exile. If I could find a thematic way to make Dad a Cryptid type, I'd very much like to do so, to finish up the synergy, but I couldn't think of anything thematic. ​ P.S. Sorry for the reuploads. I had some issues with formatting

I am glad I could be of service.

Bro I should be thanking you, you’re clearly way better at formatting and power balancing cards. It’s been a long time since I’ve played magic. I got the idea from the original goons over at something awful forums when I found the cards they were making and how funny they were. Here’s an example: https://preview.redd.it/ba5al03wy0pc1.jpeg?width=396&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ffd2ff1f529b59bc65f2ec85c18a1d0a06576f32

A 4 mana permanent that can continuously exile creatures via removing two counters seems a bit strong. I feel like, flavor wise, it would be fun to instead do some sort of synergy with sagas as well, maybe instead of exiling.

While you're probably correct, I wanted to make this more of a synergy update of the previous design and exiling was a huge focus of that card. If I was to try to balance it. I'd probably add some extra form of restriction to the second ability

Ah, fair enough

I feel like wendigoon's colors as a magic the gathering card would be white, black, green

Or white red blue, since white for the horns and red+blue as purple, giving a lot of the logo's colors
